When India played against Colombia in Mexico back in August this year, they suffered a 3-0 loss. What must be noted that of the three goals let in, two were from set-pieces.

Norton would have certainly taken note of this.

Namit Deshpande, who was rested for the first game owing to a knock picked up earlier in a camp, could be handed a start in central defence.

Jeakson Singh too was benched for the first game, is in contention for a place in the starting eleven. Meanwhile, Boris Singh, who was suspended for the opening match, is expected to take his place in the team.
